Yaketty has either broken ndots or enforced it to 1.

ndots:1
ping host => search is appended. Never tried as fqdn.
ping host.name => search is not appended, even if nxdomain

ndots:2
ping host => search is appended. Never tried as fqdn.
ping host.name => search is not appended, even if nxdomain. This is bad.

ndots:3
ping host => search is appended. Never tried as fqdn.
ping host.name => search is not appended, even if nxdomain. This is bad.


Expected behaviour :
For queries with less than ndots : try to resolve with search-list appended, if it fails (nxdomain), try as FQDN/absolute name.
For queries with ndots or more dot : Only resolve as FQDN/absolute name.

Title:
  Resolver ignores ndots option

Bug description:
  This is a re-report of
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/401202 since that
  one was apparently closed as no-fix simply because it was too old.

  This still occurs in xenial.

  Original description:
  Regardless of ndots option in /etc/resolv.conf, when NXDOMAIN is returned from the DNS server then resolver always try another attempt with the original name extended by what is in search option.
  For example, if you're looking for very.long.url.nowhere and there is a line "search ubuntu.com" in resolv.conf you will get addres of server very.long.url.nowhere.ubuntu.com if such exists. It is incorrect, it should occurs only for urls having less that ndots option dots in its name.

  My system is a standard Ubuntu Xenial desktop amd64 using network
  manager and the default configured Wired Connection 1 (i.e. DHCP).

  To reproduce:
  - sudo install /dev/fd/0 /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/domain <<<'log-queries=extra'
  - sudo killall dnsmasq
  - ping some.long.non-existent.name
  - Watch /var/log/syslog

  In my case:
  Mar 20 23:19:22 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 46 127.0.0.1/40646 query[A] some.long.non-existent.name from 127.0.0.1
  Mar 20 23:19:22 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 46 127.0.0.1/40646 forwarded some.long.non-existent.name to 192.168.5.1
  Mar 20 23:19:22 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 46 127.0.0.1/40646 reply some.long.non-existent.name is NXDOMAIN
  Mar 20 23:19:22 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 47 127.0.0.1/52417 query[A] some.long.non-existent.name.sebunger.dnsalias.org from 127.0.0.1
  Mar 20 23:19:22 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 47 127.0.0.1/52417 forwarded some.long.non-existent.name.sebunger.dnsalias.org to 192.168.5.1
  Mar 20 23:19:23 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 47 127.0.0.1/52417 reply some.long.non-existent.name.sebunger.dnsalias.org is <CNAME>
  Mar 20 23:19:23 eragon dnsmasq[27367]: 47 127.0.0.1/52417 reply sebunger.dnsalias.org is 203.173.156.30
